Looks like Microsoft may be using Windows Live.com as a whole media hub. Windows Media Center users will be able to select a show and record it all from Live.com! This is similar to technology that can be found in true PVR’s, such as ReplayTV.

However, we will have to see if they make a central location where users can share shows with each other. This is one of my favorite features with ReplayTV. The site where users can share shows is known as Poopli.com and I use it all of the time. It comes in real handy when you forget to record a show or it is just not on any of your channels. Microsoft still has a long ways to go in order to compete with the dedicated PVR’s but I do believe that they are doing a good job.
